In the first point, a month of Elders...perhaps it's because elections are usually held in this month (in this country) or the second point, a month of fertility simply because it is spring to most people on the northern hemisphere.<br />
<br />
For me though, there are only three things certain in the month of May.<br />
<br />
Let me enumerate;<br />
<br />
One- No other month begins or ends on the same day of the week as May in any year.<br />
<br />
Two- F-C-B-D. No it's not the new arrangement of letters in the alphabet...it's a worldwide event dubbed as the<u> <a href="http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/992" target="_blank">Free Comic Book Day </a></u>celebrated on the first Saturday of May. As for the local counterpart, there are certain tweaks or twists as you can clearly see <a href="https://www.facebook.com/freecomicbookph" target="_blank">here</a>. And if you are interested to participate, I have one word of advice- BE EARLY.<br />
<br />
and finally...<br />
<br />
Three-<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/274902389238661/" target="_blank">The Annual Summer Komikon 2012</a>. It's a gathering of who's who in the local comics/ komiks industry. It's also a place to showcase independent and fresh talent of the genre and at the same time a recognition to those who have succeeded to spread the medium. Of course it is not without its usual and distinct flavor of our version of flea-market like setting we call in the vernacular <i>tiangge. </i>Showcasing various products related- somewhat or not at all. Still, a can't-miss event for this time of the month.<br />
<br />
<br />
Obviously there are a lot more events and happenings for this month...to each his/her own I say.<br />
<br />
<br />
G'day!<br />
